Artificial Intelligence
AI is a technology that simulates human intelligence, aiming to enable machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding natural language, and perceiving the environment. In recent years, AI technology has developed rapidly and has had a profound impact in various fields.

However, while AI improves efficiency, facilitates life, and drives innovation, it also brings multiple challenges such as privacy protection, employment impact, and ethical issues. Recently, the frequently trending topic of deepfake has raised public doubts about AI technology.

Deepfake technology is based on artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (deep learning), and it can generate highly realistic fake (fake) images, videos, and audio. In simple terms, deepfake is a type of AI face-swapping technology. This technology can be used in film and game production to achieve effects such as character role-playing and expression changes, and it can even be applied in the medical field to assist doctors in diagnosis and treatment.

However, the deepfake, which should bring convenience to humanity, has been labeled as the “most evil technology” due to its misuse. Malicious individuals exploit deepfake technology not only to invade others’ privacy but also to impersonate others for criminal activities, severely affecting online and social security and causing public panic regarding AI technology.
